Yes, should read 'New rank titles for Navy'Originally posted by GargoyleR:The way I look at it, sound more like establish rank for vocations, designation and appointment...
Is this official.....Originally posted by London9:Now that the Navy is enhancing its capabilities with the new stealth frigates, isn't it time to introduce real navy rank titles rather than army ones to the RSN?
For example:
Officers (existing rank in brackets)
Ensign (2LT)
Sub-Lieutenant (LT)
Lieutenant (RSN) (Captain)
Lieutenant-Commander (Major)
Commander (Lieutenant-Colonel)
Captain (RSN) (Colonel)
Enlisted and Specialists
Seaman (Private)
Able Seaman (Lance Corporal)
Leading Seaman (Corporal)
3rd Petty Officer (3rd Sergeant)
2nd Petty Officer (2nd Sergeant)
1st Petty Officer (1st Sergeant)
Chief Petty Officer (Staff Sergeant)
Master Chief Petty Officer (Master Sergeant)
Warrant Officers would stay the same as they are a traditional naval rank.
Existing insignia would continue to be used.
Just an idea.Originally posted by kaka_22:Is this official.....![]()
i don't think a COL will like to be called a CPT.Originally posted by London9:Now that the Navy is enhancing its capabilities with the new stealth frigates, isn't it time to introduce real navy rank titles rather than army ones to the RSN?

He would be a Captain (RSN), a big difference!Originally posted by Gordonator:i don't think a COL will like to be called a CPT.![]()
i believe he would rather be called a COL.Originally posted by London9:He would be a Captain (RSN), a big difference!![]()
TrueOriginally posted by vIn.Warrior:abit aside... thought Lieutenant should be written as LTA?
yeah i always thought this was a good idea. the current rank system makes it look as if the navy is a subset of the army.Originally posted by London9:Now that the Navy is enhancing its capabilities with the new stealth frigates, isn't it time to introduce real navy rank titles rather than army ones to the RSN?

if given a choice.. why not call LAO DA?Originally posted by Gordonator:i believe he would rather be called a COL.![]()
And make Ronnie a Vice Admiral. He can't enjoy being outranked by the heads of every other navy, and if he's a three star Admiral, he'll have more influence when meeting foreign Admirals.Originally posted by sgFish:yeah i always thought this was a good idea. the current rank system makes it look as if the navy is a subset of the army.
The current Navy ranks could be confusing when exercises are held with the US and Australian Navies. Captain or Lieutenant in the US Navy are not the same ranks as Captain or Lieutenant in the RSN.Originally posted by Altis84:why must be go and follow the ang mo kind of style... i still think the present one is fine...
have u ever consider the navy land units... those logistic support one how sia... den we will have 2 sets of ranks... so confusing.
agreed. RADM(2-star) Ronnie Tay sounds so weird.Originally posted by LazerLordz:VADM Ronnie Tay sounds much nicer.
Commodore is the Royal Navy name for a 1 star RADM. So you would be demoting little Ron!Originally posted by SpecOps87:How about Commodore for the Ronnie?
